An automatic mahjong table combines a playing surface with a mechanism that shuffles and prepares a compatible tile set. Choosing one starts with your rules, the room and the exact configuration, not an unsupported promise that one machine plays every tile game. This guide compares the decisions that matter before ordering a standard or folding table.

Automatic mahjong table size and room dimensions

There is no single standard mahjong table size that describes every frame. As a listed example, the D100 configuration measures 101 × 101 × 78 cm: approximately 39.8 × 39.8 × 30.7 inches. These are overall product dimensions, not the inner playing area, folded dimensions or shipping-crate size. Confirm the measurements for your selected configuration.

Mark the table footprint on the floor and position four chairs around it. Check that players can sit down, move their chairs and leave without blocking a doorway. Measure the narrowest door, corridor turn, elevator and unloading route separately. A table that fits the room may still need a different delivery or assembly arrangement to get there.

Standard or foldable automatic mahjong table?

A standard automatic mahjong table suits a planned permanent position. A folding automatic mahjong table can suit a shared room when you have a suitable storage position and a safe route between the two. Check the frame's folded dimensions, locking method and movement instructions before choosing it.

The term portable automatic mahjong table should not be read as a promise of lightweight, one-person carrying. Folding describes the frame arrangement. Stairs, lifting, transport packaging and the number of people needed for handling still require planning. Do not infer a folded footprint from an open-table photograph.

How much does an automatic mahjong table cost?

The current INEAN PLAY catalogue lists standard Mahjong configurations at USD 568 and folding configurations at USD 598. These are product prices, not a universal delivered price. Check the selected product and written quotation before payment; local currency presentation, applicable taxes and delivery charges may differ.

Compare the complete cost of an automatic mahjong table using the same model, tile set and accessories. Ask which of the following are included and who is responsible for each stage:

  • The selected table, compatible tiles and any optional items.
  • Export packaging and freight on the agreed route.
  • Customs clearance, applicable duties and taxes.
  • Delivery from the port or depot to the final address.
  • Unloading, stairs, room placement or assembly where agreed.

Large tables often travel by sea. Dispatch, vessel arrival, customs release and delivery to your address are different milestones. Obtain a written estimate for the route and its uncertainties instead of treating a shipping date as an arrival guarantee.

Tile compatibility: Mahjong is not the same as OKEY

A self shuffling mahjong table needs a tile set and program compatible with its mechanism. Matching a tile's visible dimensions is not enough: confirm the complete set, supported rules, tile count and machine configuration together. Do not assume support for American Mahjong, Japanese Riichi or another ruleset merely because a listing says Mahjong.

INEAN PLAY sells Mahjong tables and OKEY tables as separate product families. Older OTOKEY references lead to the OKEY family; they do not establish that its tiles or mechanism work as a Mahjong machine. Choose the actual model, not a claimed universal four-game replacement.

Model details worth checking before payment

Use the photographs and specification panel for the selected frame and finish. A photo may show chairs or other items that are not part of the order. Confirm voltage and plug requirements for the destination, included accessories, the operating manual and access to replacement parts. Do not assume a drawer, dining cover, height adjustment or automatic scoring system is included across all models.

For noise and shuffling performance, request a demonstration of the actual configuration. A video can show the operating sequence, but it does not establish a certified sound level in your room. There is no verified basis here for promising a fixed motor lifetime, a guaranteed shuffle time or a number of years without maintenance.

What is the best automatic mahjong table for your use?

For a regular home game, prioritize the correct tile set, comfortable seating and a clear support process. For a shared room, add storage and movement checks. For a club, discuss expected use, routine inspection and spare parts before ordering several units. The best choice is the configuration that meets these requirements; this guide is not an independent laboratory ranking or a claim that the most expensive table is the most durable.

Ordering, delivery and after-sales support

  1. Select a model and finish from the Mahjong product page or its folding counterpart.
  2. Send the destination country, postal code, intended game and access details through INEAN PLAY or the product's WhatsApp inquiry button.
  3. Confirm the specification, complete quotation, estimated route and payment terms in writing.
  4. Place the order using the agreed purchase method. The normal product purchase option remains available.
  5. Keep the order documents and delivery updates, then inspect the received goods and report any issue promptly under the agreed policy.

The equipment warranty is one year, subject to the applicable terms. Parts, transport costs, local attendance and returns are not automatically free or included. Review the warranty information and agree any unclear point before payment. Follow the model's cleaning instructions; do not open, lubricate or modify the mechanism based on a generic online checklist.
